No, that's easy. The circuitry was small enough it has to be directed with DNA for synthesis. It's made of organic nanotubes.

[failureisntachoice]

And what did that do for the device?

[systemize]

It meant I could fit a full size computer into a cell phone.

[failureisntachoice]

You'll be able to impress those around here, the best tech they seem to have is porting and hovering.

What year are you from?

[systemize]

2005. We don't even have porting or hovering.

[failureisntachoice]

Yet you can make better computers than them already.

[systemize]

It's just me and a few others-- it's not common. Does everything seem very antiquated to you? You must get frustrated.

[failureisntachoice]

I get more frustrated by the idiots running around than the tech and at least there's people around that can repair what I brought with me.

[systemize]

You mean your armor? Or something else?

[failureisntachoice]

Armor and what I walk around in. I get the feeling that's not normal here either even if their porter gave it to me.

[systemize]

You mean because you have a physical body? I was wondering about that.

[failureisntachoice]

Yeah, I do. Makes it a lot easier to blend in. What, you thought I lived in my armor?

[systemize]

No, but having a physical form seems limiting for an AI that advanced. With an internet connection you could probably take over anything you wanted.

[failureisntachoice]

I'd rather blend in. It's better than electronic hopping and I've got network access.

[systemize]

[ He definitely understands the value of blending in. ]

Is that what you do at home? If the Porter had to give you a body.

[failureisntachoice]

I blended in, but in a different way. Everyone I worked with wore the same kind of armor, juts in different colors. That used to be what I was housed in.

[systemize]

[ He's surprised she's willing to answer all these questions, but isn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. ]

So it's not common where/when you're from?

[failureisntachoice]

The actual body part? No.

What have you found while hacking so far?

[systemize]

Mostly a lot of stupid personal files, like usual.

[failureisntachoice]

Find any good dirt?

[systemize]

Yeah, but no one's annoyed me enough to make me share.

[ Cadel wouldn't share personal files due to annoyance, though, at least not anymore. Really they'd have to be a threat, or he'd have to have some cause to manipulate them... ]

[failureisntachoice]

Shame. I was hoping for some good gossip.

[systemize]

I could show you something public. It's their own fault if they didn't private it.

[failureisntachoice]

Lay it on me, kid. I could use a good laugh.

[systemize]

Someone got killed by a toilet once.
